RoboLeague | Zach Moas

Overview

A hackathon project: design, print, and program a small ESP32 car, with a custom iOS app for control and scorekeeping. The idea came from Rocket League, except the pitch is a table and the cars are real.

My contributions

01 CAD, printing, and assembly

I modeled, printed, and assembled the car in under 30 hours. It had to mount the electronics, stay compact, and go together quickly, since assembly time counts against you at a hackathon. DC motors and a motor controller drive it, with the ESP32 handling the wireless link and control logic.

What it did

Finished and working inside the hackathon window: a car you drive from the app and a score that keeps itself.
